Low grade boards

[Bassmaster96]

Are all boards that are brown on one side low grade? Is there any exceptions? Also, if I take off the capacitors, should there be any problems selling them as low grade?

Not sure. I am learning about the different grades of boards now. I know that green is the preferred board(brown or otherwise appear to always be low grade). Not sure about whether removing the capacitors will effect what you can get out of them after the fact. From what I have seen, a 'clean' board is one without CPU and RAM chips and without aluminum and steel parts...that is with nothing ever being said about the remaining components other than the 'pins' and some 'contacts'(which is what they're after I think).

Yeah, the low grade boards aren't worth much at all. I am not planning on removing capacitors from the motherboards etc, just the low grade. I thought brown on one side was always low grade, I just have found this one that looks good on one side. I'll try to get some pictures up at some time. Thanks!

You can take stuff of low grade boards no problem. Some brown boards can be better than low grade, just depends whats on them...

Alright, I thought so. I mainly wanted to remove the ceramic capacitors and see how many I can pile up. Are all of them that look that way ceramic?
